Why this concept

Capital positioning

Lowest capital exposure of the three concepts — fastest path from approval to revenue.

Activates the Main + Center corner immediately, anchoring the streetscape and supporting future adjacent development.

Existing 28-stall surface lot is preserved as event/overflow parking — DC code requires zero.

IEBC 2024 review path keeps entitlement risk low and avoids full mid-rise design review.
